With a June 30 cutoff date for entries, organizers are anticipating a last minute surge in submissions to the 2012 Jamestown Audubon Nature Photography Contest.
"It's been incredibly exciting to have this year's competition receive broad attention," said Jennifer Schlick, Audubon Center and Sanctuary program director and contest coordinator. "With terrific prizes and publicity for the winners, we expect an even greater response in these last couple weeks before the June 30 deadline."
The categories for submissions of photographs in the 2012 contest are wildlife; plants, trees and fungi; and landscapes. With adult and youth, 18 and under or still in high school, divisions in each category, there will be a total of six winners.
